Jon,
I had 3 switches. One I already knew was bad and confirmed that by taking it apart. Parts went flying and it is never going together again. The other two didn't seem to work with me holding a test light on a bare wire end under the truck. Just before lunch and this Zone session, I connected two male Packard fittings to the brake wires under the truck and connected them to the brake light switch. (By the way, this is the NAPA switch that I got for around $10.00) I don't know if the factory switch took male or female connectors, mine took a male, so that is what I have. With the switch off the truck. I stuck a jumper wire into the F position on the plug. The other end of the wire was in the K spot. I put a test light in the A position and pushed the brake pedal. The test light worked with the pedal. Once I get caught up on the Zone, eat lunch and get my students back, I will start wiring up the rest of the stuff and see if it works.
